Vis
The Croatian island of Vis has been included on Intrepid Travel’s newly released 2026 Not Hot List.
The list highlights ten destinations across the globe that are set to welcome more visitors in the coming years, without losing their unique charm and recognises Vis as one of the world’s most attractive lesser-known travel destinations.
Vis was praised as a peaceful retreat that prioritises locally rooted tourism, offering travellers an authentic experience far removed from mass tourism.
The recognition is also a nod to Croatia’s wider tourism strategy, which has placed increasing emphasis on sustainable and high-quality travel.
By promoting destinations that preserve their identity and culture, Croatia continues to position itself as a country offering authentic experiences and distinctive character.
Vis’s inclusion on the list has already caught the attention of the international media.
The British newspaper The Mirror published an article headlined “Underrated island that’s ‘real-life Mamma Mia’ has amazing beaches and no tourists”.

The feature described Vis as a destination of unspoilt beauty, highlighting its crystal-clear waters, quiet coves, and the historic towns of Vis and Komiža, known for their charm and strong sense of local heritage.
Often celebrated as one of the Adriatic’s most authentic islands, Vis is increasingly being recognised as a model of sustainable tourism.
Komiža
Its slow pace of life, preserved traditions, and natural landscapes continue to appeal to travellers seeking a more genuine and tranquil Mediterranean experience.
